What Do I Think?

Okay so I realize that through my journey of writing this blog I have yet to really say everything I personally want to say about the Internet, more specifically technology.


I would not consider myself the typical teenager. No offence to others of my generation. What I mean by this is that I am not the girl who sits in front of her computer screen for hours posting and blogging and tweeting and god knows what else. I would much rather read one of my favourite books over again, or work on one my paintings, or even just lay back and chill with my dog. I do not see myself as a very technology driven individual. And despite everything that I have said on this blog, that is something I do not want to change about myself. 


Do not get me wrong I appreciate that opportunities the Internet offers and I will admit I do use the Internet more than a couple times a day. If I had to choose a side, I would say that I am a supporter of the Internet. I think this is how I feel because I basically grew up with it. So maybe if I was just a tad bit older I would not feel so strongly for the Internet. But this is not the case. 


I think what I am trying to get at is that I like having the Internet around, when its appropriate. I do not like the fact that the Internet has taken over the majority of teenagers lives and that people are suffering from Internet addiction. In that sense I feel as though all of this has gone way too far. But in reality, I know that in todays society, the Internet is a necessity. It is how we communicate and function. without it I am confident that we would all have to reteach ourselves how to live with one another.


Now, technology. Generally speaking, I am not against all of these technological advances that have become very popular over the last few years. I am an owner of an iPhone and I am currently typing all of this on a MacBook Pro. So it is safe to say I like my technology as much as the next gal. However I do think there is room for improvement, or un-improvement if you will. I believe that people, including myself, have become too dependant on technology. I think to truly figure out who you are you need to take a step back, without the numerous devices, and live your life accordingly. Who knows maybe the Mayans have it right. Maybe by the end of this year everything will be different.
